Registering Your Bud Light Tag Team

With one week to go until team registrations for Bud Light Tag 2009 go live online, here are some pointers on the whats, whens and hows of registering a team at this venue

On Monday January 19th 2009, you will be able to register online your Bud Light Tag 2009 team. Given that competition for places is extremely high, here is some valuable information to ensure you avoid disappointment and get that league/grade and venue you want to play in.

In the Register To Play section you will (when registrations are 'live') find a link that will take you to the Online Registration form. To make sure you have the best season possible on the pitch, please choose your grade carefully. If you're a seasoned Tag team, then obviously your place calls you to a higher grade such as A or B. If you are a team of mixed ability or beginners then you belong in the C or Beginners grades.

When finished entering your team's details in the registration form, you are brought to the check-page. Use this page to review what you have entered and when all in order, proceed to the payment stage. A team's registration place is only complete when payment stage has been completed successfully.

Places are only offered on a first-come, first-served basis. If incomplete, that team slot you wish for will go to the next successfully completed registration.

Registration of a team also qualifies entrants to competition draws available only to Bud Light Tag players. Prizes not only include pre-match IRFU function invites and match tickets to Croke Park when Ireland host France and England but also a same-day trip on a chartered flight (match tickets included) to Cardiff to join the Irish fans shouting Ireland on when they play Wales.
